CrystalDiskInfo results for new SanDisk Ultra 3D 1TB

[askingaround]

 

Brand new drive. Have a look at the results:

1. 221 bad blocks. (That's in hex so 545 in decimal.)  How bad is this?
2. How common if for a new SSD to have bad blocks and how many?
3. Anything else from the results that stands out?

Thanks!

I don't see the number 221 anywhere on that image.

I think he's referring to the raw values

I always cross reference CrystalDisk Info with HDD Guardian. HDD G gives more specific info about bad sectors.

I have started running H2Testw which will take several hours.

Can I run HDD Guardian or should I let H2Testw finish first?
And the crucial question is: Is 545 bad blocks common for a new SSD or should I worry?

I wouldn't consider it common. Looking at your original screenshot, I can see that other data is clearly a hexadecimal value. Because of this, I wouldn't 100% assume that the 221 value in Total Bad Blocks means 221 bad blocks. I could be completely wrong, fyi.

If I were in your situation, I would download Sandisk's SSD software and see what it says.

Well, temperature is definitely wrong. 150 billion degrees...

I had already run SanDisk's software.

 

It doesn't say anything about bad sectors. I have installed the drive in an external enclosure by the way and it is connected by USB. 0.13 GB are reported occupied by the program, but Windows showed the drive completely empty. Now I still run H2testw.

Check the other picture from CrystalDiskInfo.

I also used Hard Disk Sentinel which reports the same number of bad sectors, by the way. So if you have an suggestions...
Also I made this search https://www.google.com/search?tbm=isch&q=sandisk+ultra+3d+smart+crystaldiskinfo and I see many CrystalDiskInfo reports showing bad sectors for the Ultra 3D drive.
